Andy Rooney. Like him or not he always told you what he thought. Mr. Rooney was called to give an account for his life on this side of eternity.

Andy Rooney Dead: Former '60 Minutes' Commentator Dies At 92 Years Old

His thoughts will be missed.

 

[Berean]

While I never cared for his commentaries, I think it's sad that he died in the state he did.

An excerpt from an article on Rooney in the November 19, 2004 edition of The Tufts Daily:

Rooney also attributed voters' reliance on religion in the recent election to ignorance. "I am an atheist," Rooney said. "I don't understand religion at all. I'm sure I'll offend a lot of people by saying this, but I think it's all nonsense."

Rooney's book, Sincerely, Andy Rooney (published November 1999) is a collection of his own correspondence over his long career in journalism and television.

The last chapter is entitled "Faith in Reason", and in it Andy publishes a letter to his children where he explains his views on religion and identifies himself as agnostic.
